On-screen Cambridge Lower Secondary Progression Tests

On-screen versions of Cambridge Lower Secondary Progression Tests are available in English, mathematics and science. Watch our video to find out more.

Why choose on-screen tests?

The on-screen tests are an alternative to the paper-based equivalent. Giving you the option to choose between the two versions means that you will be able to select the format that is most suitable for your learners and your school. The on-screen versions:

save time - the tests are partially auto-marked, so fewer questions will need to be marked manually

require less administration - instead of manually inputting results, you can upload results with the click of a button, so you can focus on analysing performance and progress instead of data entry

link to our unique analysis tool - you can produce detailed reports to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of students, track learners' progress and make targeted improvements to teaching and learning

align with the curriculum frameworks - the questions and reporting link to the strands and learning objectives at every stage.

The tests are web-based, so you don't need to download any software. You will find details about the technical requirements on the Cambridge Lower Secondary support site.

How can you access the on-screen tests?

The tests are administered using on-screen test tokens. Each test token costs £3.25 (GBP), €4.50 (EUR) or $5.00 (USD) and gives you access to all of the benefits above. You will need one token for each learner sitting an on-screen test. One token covers all the papers in a single test.

Your School Administrator will need to order test tokens on behalf of your school through the ‘Extra services’ area on the School Support Hub. Once they have done this, you can log in to the Cambridge Lower Secondary support site and manage the tests.

This step by step guide explains how school support coordinators can order test tokens through the School Support Hub. There is also a guide for Cambridge Associate coordinators.

We understand that taking these on-screen tests will be new to your school so we have provided a familiarisation activity for you and your learners to experience how the on-screen tests will look and work. Visit our Cambridge Lower Secondary support site to find out more.
